Chapter 1208 - 1207: Firebird

Chapter 1208: Chapter 1207: Firebird

Ling Feng squinted his eyes and said, "Why don’t we go over there and see what’s going on? If the two of us head there, even if we encounter danger, we can escape in time!"

Xuanyuan Xia smiled, "Sure, I don’t really see the Red Scorpions as a threat!"

Ling Feng knew Xuanyuan Xia would agree, so he rushed towards the direction of the Red Scorpions, with Xuanyuan Xia following closely behind.

Their speed was very fast, and in less than ten minutes, they were already near the group of Red Scorpions.

Concealing their presence, the two stood at the top of the tallest tree on the outskirts. Not far away was the scorpion swarm, but the Red Scorpions seemed unaware of Ling Feng and Xuanyuan Xia. Instead, they were continually moving towards the center.

"There must be something there!" Xuanyuan Xia said confidently. "But if we rush in right now, it might be dangerous. The poison of these Red Scorpions contains the Power of the Red Flame, and only your Hell Black Flame can resist this power, so..."

Ling Feng’s mouth twitched, "So you’re suggesting I go in alone? Isn’t this that ’sacrifice the companion, not myself’ approach?"

Xuanyuan Xia smiled sweetly, "Don’t worry, although these Red Scorpions are numerous, if you can’t beat them, you can still run, and I’ll be here to assist you. However... there might be Phoenix Essence Blood in there. Whether you want to go depends on your choice!"

Being told this much, how could Ling Feng not go! Even with a one in ten thousand chance, Ling Feng wouldn’t give up!

"I’ll go!" Ling Feng took a deep breath, and then the Hell Black Flame surged within him, forming a protective barrier around his body.

Since the Power of the Abyss in his body erupted, Ling Feng found his control over the Hell Black Flame growing stronger. Previously, he needed the assistance of the Mo Yu Sword, but now, he could wield the Hell Black Flame with just a thought.

Surrounded by the Hell Black Flame, Ling Feng cautiously advanced inward.

All around were the fearsome Red Scorpions, and Ling Feng felt a bit apprehensive!

Suddenly, a red beam hit Ling Feng, but he did not feel any harm as the flame of the Hell Black Flame on his protective barrier burned the red beam away completely.

"Is this the Red Scorpion’s attack?" Ling Feng mused because he noticed that a Red Scorpion’s tail flashed, and the red beam shot from the tail struck him.

However, Xuanyuan Xia certainly did not deceive him. Ling Feng’s Hell Black Flame indeed countered the Red Scorpions’ attacks, making him breathe a sigh of relief.

Since the Red Scorpions’ attacks had no effect on him, what did he have to worry about? Ling Feng chuckled and boldly strode towards the central area.

The blatant disregard clearly infuriated the surrounding Red Scorpions, whose attacks came at Ling Feng like a torrential storm. In an instant, tens of thousands of red beams were shot towards him.

The densely packed red beams made Ling Feng look almost like a hedgehog covered in red lines.

Ling Feng was taken aback, but no matter how many red beams there were, they could not penetrate the thin layer of Hell Black Flame on his protective barrier.

Ling Feng pondered, seeming to understand that so many attacks could not break through his Hell Black Flame because it, on a higher level, suppressed the Power of the Red Flame.

Enduring the attacks of the Red Scorpions, Ling Feng finally reached the central area. To his surprise, there was a weak Firebird in the central area, resembling a peacock but with its head and tail feathers burning with red flames.

The Red Scorpions attempted to charge but were repelled by the Firebird.

"So, the Red Scorpions are after this Firebird, but what exactly is this Firebird? Why do the Red Scorpions want to attack it?" Ling Feng thought to himself.

Observing carefully, Ling Feng noticed that the Firebird’s wings seemed broken, preventing it from flying, which explained why it was encircled.

"Should I save this Firebird?" Ling Feng deliberated. He was not keen on interfering in such matters, as he respected the natural laws of this world.

However, seeing the two Little Firebirds beneath the Firebird, a feeling of sympathy sparked in Ling Feng’s heart.

Although Ling Feng did not know why this Firebird was here with the two Little Firebirds, he understood that if not for them, the adult Firebird would have left, as its strength far outmatched the Red Scorpions.

It was due to its protectiveness over the two Little Firebirds that the adult Firebird was besieged by the Red Scorpions, and no matter how strong it was, it could not withstand such depletion.

At this moment, a murky voice came from the scorpion swarm, and then they dispersed, revealing a massive Red Scorpion that appeared before the Firebird.

This Red Scorpion had a formidable presence; it was likely the leader of the swarm.

Seeing this Scorpion, the Firebird’s eyes showed anger, and it let out a sharp and wary cry.

The Scorpion slowly moved towards the Firebird, which opened its wings to shield the two Little Firebirds beneath them. The flames on its head intensified a bit.

The tail of the Red Scorpion whipped, shooting a dark brown light towards the Firebird.

The Firebird let out a low cry, and a flame shield appeared around it. After deploying this shield, the flame atop its head dimmed, evidently consuming much of its mental force.

The Scorpion King’s attack struck the flame shield, causing it to tremble violently but fortunately not shatter.

The Scorpion King did not relent, flicking its tail for more attacks.

Several attacks landed on the flame shield, each reducing its strength, and the final attack made it shatter like a bubble, hitting the Firebird’s forehead.

The Firebird’s body trembled as if in great pain. After just a few breaths, its body went rigid and lost all vitality.

"Such potent venom!" Ling Feng’s heart sank. The Scorpion King’s strength was terrifying. While Ling Feng’s Hell Black Flame could fend off the Toxic Scorpions’ attacks, he wasn’t sure about the Scorpion King’s.

Having killed the Firebird, the Scorpion King was quite satisfied and turned its gaze towards the two Little Firebirds.
